Hey guys,
     I ordered parts from Mammoth and forgot to get a 1N270 for my Pastyface.  Are there any common subs I can use there?  I have a 1n295, a heap of 1n914's, some 1n4148's, and a bunch of 1n51xx stuff.  When I breadboarded it I put a 1n4148 in it's place and everything worked fine, just wondering if there is a benefit of using the 1n270.

any small signal diode will sub. there is no real benefit to using the 1n270, although it may sound slightly different than other choices. I haven't built it circuit myself so it's hard to tell how sensitive that part is the overall sound.
